Hotel-older, sound travels, hard to sleep
The price for the time of year was excellent, the room itself was average. The problem was location of the room within the hotel. We could hear the activity at the front desk throughout the night. The staff was laughing and chatting and the sound carried and woke us up several times.

Location of the Hotel is very good if you want to roam around in the Banff downtown. All restaurants and bars are near by at walkable distance. Hotel itself is good and staff is helpful. Free parking with stay is a plus.

Near the centre of everything
Great stop on a cross country trip. Room was clean and comfortable. A little ice machine noise from the hallway.
